CRAWFORD,

LAST night Miss Agnes Herndon's company
Mated" This was the first presentation of
this play by the company, it having been re-
modelled, rearraDged and q tableeu added by
the scholarly young manager, Mr.. Jessell
The story Is interesting and holds the closest
attention of the audience; as the title sug-
gssts it hes to do with q beauti-
full young lady, Maud Sell
ton, married to wealthy Lord, Sir Ralph
Challoner, but in love with handsome young
man, Gerald Guyn. After series OF start
ling adventures which 20 to make up the
course of true love, every thing turns out hap
PLY, as is shownint the final tablesu. The char
scter of Lady Maud was well handled by Miss
Herndon; she doing some very clever acting
in the third and last acts. Mr.. McCullum
| who impersonated Toby Tappeloy deserves
| special mention. Mr.. Montserat as Gerald
Guyn was not as good as in the other two
| characters he has assumed. He is. however,
| young man of no little ability, thorough,
pains taking, hard working actor. He was
| born in Louisville, KY, and has served out q
faithful apprenticeship to the noble art under
the Florences, Booth, Keene and Mayo. He
has a good future before him and more will
vet be heard of him ia theatrical circles.
The next attraction at this place will be
"Voyage En- Suisse" October 2lss and 22nd.
GARFIELD OPERA HOUSE.
Tie New York Ideals open three nights
engagement at the Garfield tonight.
OF their performance the Evansville Cou-
rier says
The New York Ideals gave the Mascotte
last night at the opera house TO an improved
business. The Ideals are extremely salts
factary in Ia Mascotte, az, indeed, by repu-
tation they are in everything else is their
repertoire The individual characters were
well sustained, Mr. Fred Dixon gividg all that
could be reasonably asked OF a Prince Loren
20. In the by-play he introduced q surpris-
ing numb er of purely local hits Of merit,
which, as always, took the house. Miss Car
rie Tutein, as Bettina, the Mascotte, was
charming and piquant to degree. The Plppo
Of Mr.. Henry Pepper was the principal re-
manning feature.
MAIN STREET THEATER.
Last night Under the Gaslight or Life in
New York" was given at this popular resort
to large audience. The play was given in
the same successful manner that has distin-

able attention. The starting was a very
difficult matter as is usually the case with
such races. In the first heat Banquo soon
took the pole and held first place to the
finish with Belle second, three lengths BE-

For the second heat pools were decidedly
for Bapquo against the field. The first
was considered good pointer for his merit.
Belle took the lead with Dexter second and
Bauquo third. At the end Of the first quar-
ter Bapquo commenced TO gain and at the
finish Was several lengths ahead

But the Corsner's Jury Isn't Clear that Ne
Killed Firnbaeh.
The case Of Adam Firnbach. the young
man who was stabbed to death ON Sunday
morning during ball At SS5 West Thirty
ninth street, was investigated BY Coroner Levy
and jury yesterday. Frederick and George
l.. Wolf were brought handcufNed before tho
Coroner. Anumber Of witnesses were exsm-
ined. Some of them had been in the fight,
which, 1t seems, broke out at three different
times during the night.
John Stoudt, who lives at $50 West Forty
seventh street. was stabbed by the prisoner
George Wolf. and he testified that George also
stabbed q young man named Kohler. He saw
the knife In Georges hand.
Charles Thalman Of 432 West Fortieth street
also saw knife In Georges hand, but none Of
John Gampert of 338 West Thirty-ei9hth
street described the weapon he saw In George
VOLTS hand as bowie knife. Firnbach told
this witness that George Wolf had stabbed
him. but Coroner Levy refused to allow the
Jury to consider this statement. because when
the dying man made the declaration the prts-
oner was not present. The twelve men on the
jury declared that Firnbach came to his death
at the hands OF some person unknown to them.
The Wolf brothers were returned to prison to
await the action Of the Grand Jury.

Lieut. Zalinski Stirring Up tho Waters OF

II Gen. George Washington could have
taken q look at Lieut. Zalinskis pneumatic
dynamite gun yesterday at Fort Lafayette he
would probably have exclaimed: "A gun!
Nonsense. That's putty blower" The gun
is, in fact o slender steel tube. sixty feet long
and one foot in diameter. balanced like q
grasshopper on skeleton sa; fra frame ,yo work, i
e@oniGal @ shell a good two miles and quarter.
Whipple. who is going to make report to the
Ordnance Department, looked on,
fifty pounds Of dynamite. The, air pressure
was a thousand pounds. The first shot took
8 3-5 seconds to travel 1.8l6 yards, and on
touching tho water 1t exploded: The second
shot, with a slow fuse, struck the water $500
feet away. ricochetted, and disappeared. A
second later huge COLUMN q mud and water
arose for many feet. The third shot. with tho
gun Mt an elevation OF 49, degrees, was q
failure, owing. to the breaking OF tho shell In
tho air. The fourth shot, at the Same angle OF
elevation, was twenty-five seconds In tho air,
and 1t struck 3.86S yards away. or about two
miles and quarter.
Lieut.. Zalinski. who Is perfecting this gun for
tho government. says he expects great results
from it. The sholl Is far from. perfect and work
mon are constantly engaged In experimenting
upon 1t. As yet, he has not used more than
1,OOO pounds air pressure.
